Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not sure what to do? Have been slowly loosing the feeling in my finger tips and now it is spreading further into my hands. Several years ago I was having these strange attacks where I would get a horrible pain sensation in my left arm and then it would simply go numb and lay there dead and paralyzed. That has returned, but in my right arm. My hands now constantly buzz furiously and my fingertips are completely numb. My neuro knows about this and I am on the highest dose of neurontin possible to combat this. I am starting to sink into a low place and fighting that with all my might. On top of this, leaves for Afghanistan again this coming weekend! If I tell him what just happened in the shower he will surely stay and not take this job and we will suffer monitarily. But if he goes, then it is just me and my 9 yr old son alone and that scares me. What if this is the onset of waking up paralyzed? OMG I am in turmoil! I am scared to death! This disease has never scared me until this morning. This attack on my arm in the shower was the worst one ever and after 30 min is still lingering and that has never happened.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Tammy I think the wise thing to do would be to tell and let him decide what he wants to do. Is there anyone that could help you if he does go? Your 9yr old can't be left alone if something does happen to you. You are in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 How scary, Tammy! I know how you feel questioning strange symptoms thinking it's the start of something worse. I will be thinking about you and hoping that tomorrow will be better. loosing feeling Not sure what to do?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi, Tammy: Unfortunately your description of symptoms sounds like a flare-up, especially if it's in a new arm & lasting more than 24 hours. I'm also confused why your neuro is giving you neurontin for numbness. I'd think he'd want to put you on a solumedrol infusion or prednisone. As difficult as it is to do, I think you need to tell your husband. Dan U dao_nguu@...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Does your neuro know about this latest? It seems like you should have Solumedrol. I think I would call the doc again and explain your concerns and understandable worries. Big hugs to you... please let me know what happens! SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
